15-Minute Quinoa Edamame Salad with Citrus Dressing
This easy Quinoa Edamame Salad with Citrus Sesame Dressing is crunchy, savory, and bursting with citrus flavor, thanks to my 5-Minute Sesame Citrus Vinaigrette Salad Dressing! It comes together in 15 minutes since the quinoa cooks on the stovetop while we whip up the rest of the ingredients like chopped cabbage, cucumber and carrot and is even better the longer you keep it in the fridge for the perfect healthy lunch or dinner recipe!
